Fontanel Rivesaltes Ambre 1998

Domaine Fontanel, Rivesaltes, Ambre 1998 This golden wine smells of citrus peel and nuts. In the mouth it like eating nuts and toffee, very sweet and viscous with acidity that offsets the richness and a little warmth from the fortification – a decadent value. Grenache Blanc is the grape behind this wine and the vines are 60 years old. Mis en bouteille par Pierre & Marie-Claude Fontanel in Tautavel 16% $24.99 at K&L Domaine Fontanel
